Phew! With all that walking we're tired. We need to find a bench or somewhere to rest. Don't worry boekie, I have a plan and it doesn't involve a dark forest.
We're nearly there, just to the top of the hill.
Time to turn around and see what's behind us.
Wow! So that's what we were missing. And there I was thinking that there's no light. We are awash with light! Time to find that bench. There it is.
Now that we're sitting on the bench it's time to show you what's inside the covers:
Well that's all. I had a wonderful walk with boekie. Thanks Vizma and thanks everyone for looking. I hope I'll have many more walks like this!

Wonderful blog, but wait a second. The boekie has to end up in a pub somewhere. All good stories end with a pint of Guinness and a long road to Tipperary.
I think we should all take full advantage of Vizma's glee. I'm becoming exceedingly happy myself. Time to break out in dance and song. This would be a great time to ask her for any requests or me for that matter! :) Crack open the wine, Vizma, you deserve it. I wanted to do something a little different and it does sound like I have 'boekie love'. I thought I'd creep up on you and post it while you were sleeping, though I wasn't prepared for the feeling that my blogs of mail art on my windowsill will never be the same again. It seems like they're all pleading with me to take them on walks now! Oh deary me!
ha ha ha - told ya! (Do I know my beloved Aussie wench or what?! Actually, I've heard in her the same strains of exclamatory, breath-taking glee I know in myself, and thus figured on a bit of a mirror...%_^)
Taidgh, I'm a quarter Irish (Mother's maiden name is McCloskey), and have always dreamed of seeing my ancestors' land, but the amazing beauty illustrated in your blog has succeeding in making that dream much, much more intense indeed!
It's just such a magical blog, isn't it!? It all happened while I was sleeping!! I logged on to blog Taidgh and Claire, but I don't think I'm able at present!!!!! Maybe we should open a bottle of wine and ponder the blog...I'm going back to the start!!! Cheers!!
Oh Taidghy! I'm awash with emotions! What a trip!!! You treat boekie sooo well, it's almost a Romantic tale!! This is soooooo lovely and I hope this high lasts a few more hours!!! Stuff the boekie, I think I'll be sending myself to Ireland to go on one of these walks with Taidgh!!!!
You guys could persuade me to do anything at the moment! Boekie, Steph? Done!
Pushover, Claire? Too right!!
xxxxxx
I was hoping you would show us Vizma's wondrous pages - thanks!
"She is very persuasive though I'm not sure if she can be persuaded!" - lol! Yeah, I think she can... (I think she may be a pushover when you get her excited %_^)
Thanks Steph and Carina! I was going to give boekie a name, but I think boekie will do! I'm going to have to go on more walks with my mailart! Steph if you pester Vizma enough she may give in. She is very persuasive though I'm not sure if she can be persuaded!
Enjoyed this walk a lot Taidgh! Vizma's boekie is great! Love how you care about the boekie, a boekie with a face :)
